Govt. to introduce Land Acquisition Amendment bill in LS today
New Delhi, Feb 24 (IBNS): Amid a farmers' protest by social activist Anna Hazare in the national capital, the Narendra Modi government on Tuesday will introduce the Land Acquisition Amendment Bill 2015 for proposed changes in rules for land acquisition.
The introduction of the bill might lead to fireworks in Parliament as the Opposition were uniting against the amendments calling it anti-farmer.
Top leaders of the ruling BJP met on Monday evening also decided that the government will withdraw from the Rajya Sabha bills on insurance, coal and the motor vehicles act that seek approval for the government's other ordinances, media reports said.
While there have been several protests against the introduction of the bill including severe threat of agitation from Anna Hazare, Prime Minister Narendra Modi said ahead of the Budget Session that in a democracy, there should be dialogue, discussion and positive outcome.
He sought cooperation of all parties to ensure that important legislations were done in the budget session.
Leader of the opposition in the Rajya Sabha and Congress leader Ghulam Nabi Azad said, "We won't be supporting an anti-people ordinance."
He said there was no need to make amendments in the law its government enacted and which the BJP had then supported.
Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal will join Anna Hazare protest on Tuesday.
